  • Surviving the violence in Rwanda in 1994 and how that has inspired the work Grace does with The Welcome Trust
  • Rwanda's climate of 72 degrees year round makes for the best weather in the world
  • How Colin's unique upbringing shaped his view of the world and now offers him the chance to visit his siblings around the world
